Why I Love Thee

I believe I owe you at least an answer to this. So let me tell you for the first time and maybe the last.

I will never be fully able to tell you why
But here and now I will, at least, give it a try
I know it’s been a question left hanging
That eventually left a void of desire and wanting

I know you know I dislike being put on the spot
Especially for things that are most important
And I was probably seeking an answer you’d accept
That the worrying left a deafening silence I deeply regret

But let’s just get to the point of this piece
And to fate I pray these words would reach
I’ll probably stop all the rhyming now
Because, in the end, the truth finds a way somehow

Even if I try, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to find all the reasons why. But the first time I saw your face awakened an abundance of feelings I thought were lost forever and could never be replaced. In you I found a sense of curiosity, a sense of renewal. Like a breath of fresh air, you came in as a gentle breeze. You were as genuine as genuine could get. And the truth, to me, is something shared out of respect. I loved how honest you were to me. How you would not leave out the details. In a sense, I felt as if with you is where I belong and no place in time or space could ever compare.

I love how you would try. Try everything for us. How you would come to a “Yes” just because it was something that would make me proud and happy. I love how there would never ever be a lack of effort from your part and how the most important thing to you was my smile. I love how much my opinion was so important in the way you would decide on things. I love how you never made me feel I was not a priority. But, most of all, I love you because at least for some part of my life, I had someone I truly loved and I knew truly loved me back to share the happiest, the most frightening, the saddest and the most fulfilling moments of my life. I’m glad I fell in love with you.

Dear Superwoman

What's up lately? It's like you've built up this huge wall between us all of a sudden. It's like everything that has happened between us doesn't even matter. It's like you're a different person all of a sudden. It's tiring, really, trying to figure out what your next step would be. Always second guessing how I should approach you. I care for you and I know you know that. I wish there could be a bit more transparency between us. You know I won't judge and it's okay for you to be vulnerable around me. I don't want to keep on guessing anymore. I thought we were way, way past that stage. Here I am, arms open, ready to give you a tight embrace of assurance all you have to do is take it. I can't force it to you. Everything is still all your choice. I just want to leave you with this one thought. Bonds aren't built when each is afraid to trust. You don't have to be Superwoman in front of me all the time. Because the person I care for, want to know and be in my life is you. The whole package. No pretending, no make believe.

Late Post

All I C is

You
In your crop top
Skater skirt
And black chucks

Your
Pretty eyes
Pink cheeks
And infectious smile

That
Happy girl
Whose laugh is real
Messy hair but she don't care

The
Way your face lights up
On a perfect day
When everything goes your way

I can search high and low
Far or near, I can go
But it's never the same
Because all I C is you
